Having locked in at least a Wild Card appearance at the end of the VFL home and away series, it's time for Casey to show what it's made of against two other finalists before the business end of the season. The Lions away this week followed by top team Box Hill beyond that presents Casey with a major challenge. It won't be easy but it will be good preparation for the players.

Siren sounds and that’s the ball game. This was another commanding display by the Demons, who will enjoy a bye next week before facing a couple of tough challenges. Although they are not yet guaranteed a finals spot, and may regret a few narrow defeats at the hands of lower-ranked teams a few weeks ago, they remain well-placed to secure a wildcard game next month. For now, it’s a matter of observing how the other contenders perform next week.

Oh. Harry Sharp kicks goal #5. Not a good prescription for senior selection at the Demons.

Sharp putting his hand up with his fourth goal.

Coasting towards next week’s bye.

Sharp looking sharp.

You know Jeffo’s been playing for the AFL Demons

Luker impresses.

Billings boots his second - this has all the hallmarks of last week. Just waiting for AJ and Luker to get among the goals.

Yes, he’s on the list and I hope the club’s onto it.

Pretty sure that he’s on the list. Will do a quick check.

Accurate kicking and a run of unanswered goals. Looking good so far. QT Casey Demons 8.1.49 Sandringham 3.2.20 Goals Hardie 3 Jefferson 2 Billings Sharp Tholstrup Disposals Tholstrup 9 Billings Bonner 8 Campbell Hardie 7

Mitch again - his third.

And all of a sudden with that goal to Harry Sharp it’s 31 - 20 in favour of the Demons.

Sandy now lead by a point after Billing’s goal.

Mitch Hardie is the Casey forward line at the moment. Two goals to him.

Sandy adapting to the conditions better. They lead 3.2.20 to 1.1.7.
